You Melt My Heart

Happy Saturday! I'm looking forward to watching some of the Winter Olympic games over the weekend and doing some stamping, too. It's also time for a new sketch challenge at Paper Craft Planet. This week's sketch was designed by my friend Lynn.

Since it's been so Arctic-like here, I knew I'd need to pull out my DoodleFactory Arctic set from Starving Artistamps for some cards this week. I made this sweet, perfect for Valentine's Day card with Eva, the female Eskimo image from the set. I colored Eva with Copic markers, then added some Polar White Flower Soft to her jacket and hood for a fluffy look.

I set Eva against a heart patterned designer paper. The set's "you melt my heart" sentiment is stamped on a pink panel. I omitted the word "heart" and replaced it with a white felt heart and pink heart brad for a fun detail. The panel is layered on a mat with a decorative heart edge. It extends just beyond the edge of the card.

If you play along with this week's sketch, be sure to use the keyword sk021310 when you upload your card to the PCP gallery so that your card can be added to the album with the rest of the creations using this week's sketch.
